Constitution meetings planned amid threats of jail

Attar Singh

The will of the people remains strong despite a threat from the regime to jail anyone who doesn't follow its Constitution.

Frank Bainimarama has retaliated to a call by FICTU leader, Attar Singh, for people to reject the draft and push for the return of the Yash Ghai document that was burned and rejected by the regime last year. (see earlier story)

Bainimarama's told Fiji media in no uncertain terms that anyone who doesn't follow the Constitution will go to jail.

Singh and the other members of the United Front for a Democratic Fiji are planning a series of meetings to debate the new draft with the first happening next Wednesday at the FTA Hall in Knollys Street, Suva, and the second the Friday at TokaToka Resort in Nadi. Both start at 5 o'clock.

In a statement, the UFDF also rejects Bainimarama's draft saying "As expected, the constitution seeks to
perpetuate a dictatorship by entrenching the many restrictions and prohibitions
imposed on the people since the 2006 coup. These include the restrictions on group
rights such as trade unions and continued limitations on the judiciary."

The UFDF, which is made up of FICTU, the Social Democratic Liberal Party (SDL), the National Federation Party and the Fiji Labour Party, is particularly concerned with:

· the restrictions in the proposed Bill of Rights which imposes more prohibitions than rights;· absence of land and tenancy rights;. absence of recognition of women and minority communities;· continued restrictions on an independent judiciary;. entrenchment of prohibitive decrees;. absence of any caretaker government prior to elections;. blanket immunities including for acts not yet committed;

A reminder, meanwhile, of the dangers in the regime Constitution in the following which has been compiled by a blogger to show some of the differences between the 1997 Constitution, the Ghai draft and the Bainimarama draft. Readers will note the ominous blank in the Bainimarama draft in key areas. They are a concern.

yes it's about time there was an open fight between the voice/choice of the people and the thuggish rule of the dictatorship.my prediction is that the dictator will be defeated because even the good people in the army, the police, the civil service will side with the people when crunch time comes.Every committed pro-democracy leader and ordinary citizen should defy the dictator's diktats and be prepared to go to jail. Let us see how many they jail. And let us see how the world reacts when good men and women of fiji is jailed by the regime thugs. Come on people it's time to fight the bastards. No point in reasoning with them and their irrationality.It's time to get rid of them!

democratic opposition must unite and speak with one voice and say :1. we reject outright the constitution put forward by the illegal regime ( don't waste time doing an analysis on it. let the legal/constitutional experts deal with that. your job is to simply reject it OUTRIGHT!)2. demand we return to the 1997 constitution which was unlawfully trashed by the illegal regime.3. everybody put your signature to this and send it to international bodies to set the record straight with them on what the people of Fiji want as opposed to what the illegal holders of power want.

Despite recent popular belief that they are extinct, it's now been discovered that they are currently running Fiji's Regime.http://spectrum.ieee.org/tech-talk/computing/software/have-researchers-computed-the-complete-neanderthal-genome

As Fijians get taken back to the dark ages, they will become the dominating species again.

All involved in the coup are living in constant fear now.they are only too aware that their time is up and that they will have to face justice any day now.As Fijians begin to comprehend and understand Frank Bainimarama and the Regime's intentions, the resistance will begin to take on a life of its own, much as does a snowball gathering pace running down the side of a snow laden mountain, gathering speed and momentum and mass until it becomes an unstoppable and irresistible force to be reckoned with.

" POWER TO THE PEOPLE " as we say in the FIJI DEMOCRACY and FREEDOM MOVEMENT.

Another Coup by Baini's gvt about to take place...the Vunivalu of Bau will go to ...tadada!!tadada!!...the president....E..eeeepeliiiii...grantwaterhouse Nai..ululaalaa..latikau...hehehe!!!fuck fijians dickheads..

Rajesh 'f.o.c.' Singh wants frank to ask for forgiveness for his wrongs.Fair enough. But before casting the first stone, why not look at your own self?How about you ask forgiveness for fooling the people?You promised that if elected, you would serve 'free of charge'.After your election, you got greedy and reneged on your promise.You hardly set a good example you hypocrite.You are the last person who should be preaching to others you liar.You bloody opportunist and conman.Using the bible to further you own political agenda.Just piss off.

The North Korean Military dictatorship is preparing to attack the US (or it is making noise to that effect!). I am surprised the Fiji Military dictatorship has not pledged its support to the North Koreans. If the Fiji army joins with the North Koreans the Americans will have no chance. The Fiji army has the world's best military tactician in its commander Commodore Frank Bainimarama. His speciality is side-stepping and dashing!

this govt of the day has been illegal since 2006 and it will be illegal forever no matter what. Some people are pointing out the good they (the illegal govt) have done, well that does not count at all. "Many right does not make a single wrong right".

A coup is a coup and must be called by its right name which is "COUP". All those involving themselves in such acts should be charged with treason because nobody is above the law.

That BK draft constitution should not be passed at all, we should not even waste our time, energy and effort reading it, we should just take it and burn it, because we are not even suppose to be listening to any single thing they say since they are illegal. Cmon citizens of FIJI, this is no time to sleep and be lazy, (me dua ga lako mai tukuna vei keda meda kania na da keda kania tu). Dictatorship is a no no to us Fijians......WAKE UP!!!!!!!!!!

@ 1.48pmWho in the world would u think would serve for free? of course they too have to feed their family, that f.o.c thingy is part his strategy and tactics to serve the country with his best. He is better off than your Lord Bai, he does not dictate, kill people and corrupt as in the case of Frances Kean

Despite all the buildings of roads, bridges, factories in Gau and seawalls in Kiuva, and all the good he may have done, Bainirarama still has to answer for his involvements in the 2000 coup, the murder of CRW soldiers who were his elite team, the murders of Verebasaga, Rabaka, Malasebe and others. These are capital offences which warrant capital punishments in God's own law.

Let me draw Bainirarama's attention to the God's Book, "The Holy Bible", and put him into proper perspective. His soldiers who are holding guns (I cannot fathom whatever the reason for) should also think deeply about these following verses of scripture which contains the word of God.

Matthew 26:51-52

51. And, behold, one of them which were with Jesus stretched out his hand, and drew his sword, and struck a servant of the high priest's, and smote off his ear.52. Then said Jesus unto him,"Put up again thy sword into his place: for all they that take the sword, shall perish by the sword".

(Perhaps, when commemorating this Easter season, we should remember that this incident happened during the Easter season at that time.)

Genesis 9:66. Whosoever sheds man's blood, by man shall his blood be shed: for in the image of God made He man.

Exodus 20:13 (The 6th Commandment)13. Thou shalt not murder.

Numbers 35:33-3433. ... you shalt not pollute the land wherein you are: for blood, it defileth the land: and the land cannot cleansed therein by the blood of the man whose blood is shed, but by the blood of him that shed it.34. Defile not therefore the land which thou shalt inhabit, wherein I dwell, for I, the Lord, dwell among my children of Israel.

(Many people in Fiji are children of Israel either by blood or by adoption. We also are all children of God).

These are a few things that Bainirarama and his followers, who are holding guns and swords over the people of Fiji, should be wary of.

anon 4.05pm how did the 1997 constitution give us the 2000 coup???it was frank and his army that gave us the coup.its always been the army that give us coups. so lets get that rite, ratinal as you say.sigh is consistent but he is wrong.the only legal way forward is 1997 constitution.according to law and according to the facts...franky has not been able to prove qarases government was corrupt.he is now turning to the racism claim and thats bullshit too.he is doing exactly what he complained about politicians....racism - he discriminates against the majority of the population indigenous people by removing their right to self governance without consultation.......nepotism - piblic service and top posts filled by army personell and muslims...corruption - fails and refuses to disclose public accounts..you name it hes done it and worse because he does not have to account to anyone, yes anyone.

editor,We read in the regime mouthpiece newsletter the Fiji Sun (29/3) that Nazhat Shameem the country's first Goodwill Ambassador for women has been honoured by the Ministry of social welfare, women & poverty alleviation with a plaque. The plaque we are told "was a contribution from Vodafone ATH Foundation of Fiji". What a coincidence!Ms Shameen was also given a certificate. It doesn't say by who so we are left wondering about that. But what kind of person gets "honoured" by the Fiji military dictatorship?Not too many people would be left wondering about that though!sincerely,rajend naidusydney

Anon.I already asked forgiveness from my family and people of Fiji.Yes i get mad bec i am a human but i am fighting for justice and putting my name on blog .i wrote letters to Frank and text him too not lamu and scary cat like you anon.I am sinner not saints.I helped people more than i got paid as mp and minister.I am helping people here in nz too.god blessRajesh

Rajesh, we forgive you everything, bro. We see where your heart is. We see your humility of spirit and your courage in fighting this evil regime. It looks like people are finally starting to organise. The wheel is beginning to turn -- keep pushing!

Anon @ 4:49pm is completely on point & C4.5s posting of the 3 variations of Constitutions (1 legal and 2 not), and their pro's and con's should be circulated widely and understood.

The UFDF as a grouping on individuals should also be commended for convening of this PUBLIC meeting.

In case you have not seen it, Fiji Leaks has just posted up a very damning SitRep from the RFMF. It is very apparent that every flawed direction and policy of the illegal & treasonous regime, that we lambast on the blogs, are true.

Read and assess for yourselves:http://www.fijileaks.com/uploads/1/3/7/5/13759434/strategy_paper_rfmf.pdf

Our common enemy is the regime.People are united now to fight for democracy and freedom.I thank them all.Attar/MPC/Raman/Ratu Jone .We need Church/Union and GCC and Felix/Urai .others to join in for this meeting in april.All the best guys.United we stand and March on for liberty freedom and democracy for Fiji future.God BlessRajesh

I think its better to hold the meeting on the same day all city/town in Fiji.Army and police will be scattered if they want to stop the meeting.So we can have mass crowd and see how many people bai /kahiyum will try to arrest.People power .Democracy is in your hands people.Good LuckI hope i was there to support you all but been advise to stay in NZ .God Bless.Rajesh

Look who is talking about putting people in jail! The scoundrel who should have been in jail himself for the armed takeover of the government of fiji. go ahead and abuse your ill-gotten power to threaten law abiding citizens and citizens' leaders but your power will not last forever and when the time comes YOU WILL BE THE ONE LAWFULLY LOCKED UP IN JAIL !

The regime has created this opportunity for all political/union rivals to work together. Attar and MPC can you imagine? They both fought in our union days and then in politics. Then mpC and sDL. But today all these leaders have come together for a commom cause-BKC and the country. They will be on the same stage and speak common language. This is history in the making. They need our support everywhere. And with that they will beat this regime.

AN APPEAL TO MEN AND WOMEN IN UNIFORMThis is a good opportunity for men and women of conscience and integrity in the army and the police to defy orders for the political persecution of law abiding fellow citizens who are simply exercising their democratic right to get together to discuss what kind of Constitution they and their children should live under in their beloved country.There is absolutely nothing wrong with that.Why are they being threatened by the dictator?Does the Constitution of the country belong to the dictator?Every good officer in the army and the police must act to do the right thing by the people of Fiji. That is your true duty. To protect the welfare and interest of the people, NOT THE DICTATOR. Don't let the dictator and his cronies use you to feather their own nest. Stand up for what is right!

time for PEOPLE POWER IN FIJI to show its hand. your time has come to make history in the same way people have made history by getting rid of ruthless dictators elsewhere .every men and women opposed to the Bainimarama dictatorship join in this meeting to let the dictatorship and the world know where you stand. show the world the people of Fiji have the same pro-democracy spirit as oppressed people everywhere. Now is your time. Power to the People of Fiji!

Who is the new high chief of Kubuna confederacy? Is it Apenisa or George? You guys want to run the country but cant decide on who the next chief is? This is embarrassing? You also seek for fairness but isn't it fair that Ratu George be the rightful high chief. Practice what you preach at home first. You are a hypocrite. That's why people have lost faith in Chiefs. Remember in those days, Ratu Mara, Ratu Penia and Ratu George. Every one including admired and respected them They were fair and treated every race equally. Rabuku also damaged the Great Council of Chiefs by becoming the President and brining politics into it.

Everything happens for a reason and according to God's divine plan! Therefore people should obey the law, respect Bainimarama's Government because everything that we do is in God's hand...sometimes we like it but most of the time we don't like the circumstances (and Govt) that God gives us....so take it on faith!

Radini boicicidont degrade my god.Jesus had to die because of cunts like this dictator and his troops.

god didnt give us this constitution and government.the army and its command did.god didnt rape the women and children, its not part of his plan.its the man so go back to church and read the bible properly.

editor,Just saw a touristy documentary on Fiji called 'Fiji:Island flavours' on SBS Global Village (5.30PM 29/3).It felt good to see this other side of Fiji( the non militarized Police State side). It is this side - the people-centred side of Fiji - that the country is renown for in the world. The friendly, warm and welcoming people and the natural beauty of the country remain unbeatable. It is only its military rule that damages the image of the country.(This part was not covered in the documentary for obvious reasons).And I personally was not overly impressed with the bit on Turtle Island and its owner. It looked to me more like self-advertisement rather then about Fiji and what it offers.But be that as it may after the recent "torture video" and the bad publicity it gave the country around the world it was a pleasant change to see my home country in a more delightful light.It is no doubt after seeing the country in that light that the Pope was moved to say way back in 1986 "Fiji the way the world should be".Regrettably a lot has changed since then.But no reason why we cannot recapture the beauty and wonder of the old Fiji - minus the military in mainstream politics.sincerely,rajend naidusydney

Kamlesh Bocilevuu stay out of something u know nothing about and brainwashed by arseadmiral and airbuswe fijians own this land, most of it until stolen from us by foreigners.we are the majority and have evry right to run our country.u dont like it here piss off somewhere else.we love our chiefs. some bad eggs dont make a bad dozen.u the type tha arseadmiral likes. suck up to him and steal from the kaivitis.

@ RadiniNo nobody should RESPECT the Bainimarama government. There is no reason for anyone to do that. The Bainimarama government has NOT earned the right to be respected. It is a government that has IMPOSED itself on the people after an armed takeover of the country. why should decent law abiding citizens respect such thug rulers? Radini are you STUPID!

Isa my dear brothers and sisters...Of course no one condones atrocities such as rape, torture, murder...etc etc...but that's the reality of the world since Biblical times....a place full of human suffering...Even Jesus was tortured until death...It was all for a GRAND PURPOSE - to save mankind!!!All I'm saying is only God knows why...Voreqe is in power for so long...Perhaps we Fijians should re-evaluate ourselves....then we'll find the answer!

What are you on about? The Bainimarama preamble is by far the best. We are all equal. No BS about chiefs. Simple and eloquent.

What a sham the 97 model is. Brij Lal is the biggest loser in Fiji's history. Defender of this piece of shit.

Get with the program, gang. The new Fiji is 100 times better than the old. We can all hold our heads up with pride. Long live Voreqe! Architect of the best little country in the Pacific. And down with all you misery guts arseholes at 4.5.

kaiviti rules you are form army cell, if not good your baini is fucking you and your race..keep blamingIndian, big gundu..Fiji is because of honest Indian like Attar and rest, you juust bunch of shits , dog, pig,and cat

@Anon March 29, 8:51pm...At anon kakua ni taroga na neimami sau na sotia baleta nai lavo keimami rawata mai Lepanoni, Sinai, Iraq, Sudan kei na veiyasi vuravura e lako ena noda matanitu i Viti...Only 30% of that money is shared amongst us and the rest, 70%, we gave it back to the Government to use it for the benefit of all citizens of Fiji...E rawa nira bau saumi kina oira na vaqara cakacaka tu ka vakabibi na veivakatororcaketaki...Infact we can ask Government not to pay us but the money reimbursed from all Peacekeeping duties thru UN and MFO are to go directly to the RFMF /Police coffers and manage our own money but unfortunately we can’t because we have an legal/social obligations for this country and always return our money to the Government of the day to share and spread that money for all Fijians living in this Country...Kua na vosa vakalialia niko sega ni dua na demu ose cakava ena vanua qo, tamata SONALEVU OIKO...Laiva mera vosa tiko na Sotia kei na Ovisa baleta era buno taka mai nai lavo meda bula kina...Sonalevu na cava mada osa bau solia ena Matanitu me da wasea taucoko kina na lewei Viti..Is it your taxed money only???!!See sonalevu we the Police and RFMF are not also the taxpayers of this Nation but we contribute financially for the welfare of all Fijians..E levu tu boto na lem tata ra caganam!!..Vinaka Kadavu and Naitasiri Villager for the support.....

You the Bainimarama followers, you are all conmen, Voreqe is a murderer, a liar, a thief, he must be filling your pocket also, you must be blockhead too.We the iTaukei want our land and our rights, Voreqe have to give this away just because to protect himself.GO FIJIANS, STAND UP AGAINST THEIR DRAFT COSTITUTION, YOU HAVE YOUR RIGHTS, SHOW THE WORLD THAT YOU ARE STANDING AGAINST Voreqe, after all they have seen the video of the brutalities of the prisioners. YOU CORPS AND ARMIES WAKE UP NOW, SO YOU CAN BE FORGIVEN BY THE PEOPLE OF FIJI. Proverb 28:17 A man tormented by the guilt of murder will be a fujitive till death: LET NO ONE SUPPORT him.May this word of God rest with in you all.God Bless Fiji.

Fellow non baini supporters, play smart , just captute, baini/arsy and job is done..the rest are just gundus , will fall behind..even arsy should be assinated..after all baini has given blanket immunity..

its ur muslim brothers and sistersall kaiidia so u kaiidia beta fix urselfs or we kaivitis have to fix uour army gonna fix u again and this baini and ur muslim brotherhood

honest indian??? u joking brother, go have some more grogattar not honest/if hes honest he would fight for the 1997 consititution no ghaishe likes ghais because he has beta chance of stealing kaivitis land

the ghai draft is bullshit too because ghai and his team had to follow the non negotiables/thats why the indigenous people of fiji which make up the majority of the population say we dont want everyone to be called fijian ghai had to follow.when the indigenous people say we want to be a christian state ghai had to reject and follow baini.when the indigenous people were the original landowners, ghai could only say we have "spiritual connection"to the land. ghai could not tell the truth and say we had ownership connection to the land.so u kaiidia and misled kaivitis who love this baini love the ghai consitution and not the true and legal constitution of 1997.

Rajend Chaudhary is one rapist and disgraceful person. He and his posts have been reported, you count your days.You are in a rush to post about Shameem that you do not even read what letters are missing from your post. Get real baby, by the way who is your latest companion in bed?

BKC should start . we the dictators are forcing this constitution on the people of fiji.This is not the people constitution. people submission and views were taken on this bkc.Fiji legal Constitution is 1997.So stop folling fiji people and the world frank/khaiyum.We reject your BKC.The people of Fiji should stick with one word.1997 Constitution.god bless.Rajesh

You are really disgusting Irana.Nazhat Shameem is sill with the same man she married, not like you. And that is why she is respected by all who has the guts to see the reality.Unlike your husband Saki, Aslam is a qualified and successful businessman of my country. Once again get your facts right you pig

What is wrong with the new constitution? It gives everyone equality. Support Bainimarama. Fiji needs a multiracial and a strong leader like Ratu Sir Kamisese Mara and Bainimara. Say yes to him and vote for his party.

Imrana I heard you took your kids to Disney Land.......money spent in USA was the same money you and Saki stole from Airport Fiji Ltd? Because the fish and chips sales wasnt that good.And while the kids were enjoying at Disney, whom were you with? You are such a cheap character you know

1997 CONSTITUTION MENTION /SEEK GOD BLESSING .GHAI -PRAYERBKC -NO GOD BLESSING MENTION.SO HOW CAN WE RESPECT AND ACCEPT THIS BKC .GOD IS PARAMOUNT AND CREATOR NOT BAI/KHAIYUM OR OTHERS.BKC WILL NOT GET PEOPLE AND GOD BLESSING.BKC IS DICTATORSHIP AND FORCE LINE CONSTITUTION OF THE PEOPLE.WE REJECT BKCWE ONLY ACCEPT LEGAL 1997 CONSTITUTION.GOD BLESSING IS THERE.

Muskat who said Aslam is a successful businessman? You are also advocating Aslam, how much he is paying you? You are here to support Frank, Naz and Aslam...great but you dont know the fact. Aslam gets all business from Frank because...............

Anon pls put your name than ask me question.We dont have to ans to your question.but to help you understand i have no more interest to stand in 2014 election.We all are sinners .no one is a saint .seem like you claim to be a saint .I ask forgiveness thats what we been taught we make mistake daily in our life.So my friend dont worry about me .you should worry about fighting the regime and free the people of fiji from this evil regime.god bless you.Rajesh

Saki and Imarana are educated people not like khaiyum and bai.Stop commenting on them.frank would put them in jail if they were crook.Dont worry about this comments made on the blog saki/imrana keep the fight up.god bless you guys.Rajesh

Imrana one has to be in Fiji to see what Mr Aslam Khan and Vodafone is doing for the Fijians. They did no run away like you and RC, they stayed here and provided their services to the people of Fiji.Aha I know why you think there is some link between our PM and Madam Shameem: you looking in the mirror babe,

Whom ever I may be supporting, I am proud that I am not serving myself here like you. PIG

I don't worry about you Rajesh. But since you ask for forgiveness, I need to know what for. Yes, everyone makes mistakes but all mistakes are not sins. My democratic right to remain anon needs to be respected. But you don't care, do you? You are as racist, sly, silly and dangerous as they come. God bless.

Robert Evanson the owner of Turtle Island hosted Bainimarama before he carried out his coup. and he bankrolled the coup. evanson is an american. has he also hosted the american ambassador frankie reed? is that why reed is also a frank supporter?

kaiviti rules whoever you are you are real racist bastard, like your baini, I was always right about poeple like you cowardswill try to punish innocent kaindias as you like to say..why punish all if have guts do it now, like aryse kaihole, naz, aslam, vijend p, and rest, I still se you the most coward Fijian in the world atleast Attar have guts to fight without guns look at you waiting for guns to be turned, no I wonder why baibi boci is fucking you race cunt hole..

Robert Evanson the owner of Turtle Island hosted Bainimarama before he carried out his coup. and he bankrolled the coup. evanson is an american. has he also hosted the american ambassador frankie reed? is that why reed is also a frank supporter?

The act of seeking forgiveness is one that requires 100% honesty. Your comments hurt people! Get real. You need to seek forgiveness for what you do. Ask yourself that and then seek forgiveness. Don't just do it for the sake of it. Forgiveness requires a clean heart to seek and forgive.

Did God in His sovereign power allow Bainimarama to become Fiji's ruler? Apparently, in much the same way that God allowed the Assyrians to punish Israel. But now, I ask you, Radini, is God pro-Assyria or pro-Israel?

I believe God loves Fiji. I don't know why God allowed Bainimarama to inflict himself on Fiji, but God sometimes uses even the devil to accomplish His handiwork.

Another non-theologian named Thomas Jefferson once said: 'Resistance to tyranny is obedience to God'. How are we to reconcile his statement with your belief that obedience to the present tyranny is obedience to God?

Agreed. Anon @ 9:58. People like Mara, Driti, FB, ASK, etc all need to confess and then seek forgiveness. Rajesh supports Mara but Mara has not confessed to all that he did while in power. You put it right. How are they sleeping.

kaiviti rule...what rights you talking about ,baini boci, fijian race leader army head, nailatikau fijian president what else, what have you done todate, your vanua, gcc, provincil council, methodist church , have you done anything, just behind the curtain, cursing we Indians, go and and stand against your Fijian leader baini boci , make a statement bloody coward Fijian, not all Indian support this regime, see for your self Attar is classic example who is he fighting for to date not a single Fijian leader has made bold statement , tell you something Baini boci is not scared of you Fijian he is scared of honest Indians like Attar and rest, he knows he cam buy Fijians by just giving handouts,go and stand behind your sulu and watch your ouwn Fijian killing your race..or just keep shut with your racist comments ass hole.. what have you done to protect your race,,

Mr Aslam Khan and his wife are law abiding citizen of Fiji they have not filled their pocket with monies belonging to others and that is why they were never investigated. Get your facts right you cheap writer.Ballu Khan, Imana Pig Jalal and Saki, get mental health. You guys the frustrated lot who were enjoying their lives under corrupt Qarase government. Good that he was kicked out.

editor,It's Easter so I didn't want to say anything that might be hurtful to my Christian family and friends and Christians. But I will not be me if I did not protest at something wrong or hypocritical. To me there is clearly something wrong and hypocritical in the Fiji Times article 'PM : Rejoice in the message' (FT 30/3). Why should anyone have to listen to Christ's message of love, tolerance, compassion and peace from a military ruler who has terrorized his own people for over 6 years since his illegal takeover?That to me is adding insult to injury.I rejoice in Christ message for its own inherent, intrinsic values.Christ message and what Frank Bainimarama is doing are poles apart.Frank Bainimarama needs to reflect on the message but I have stopped counting on him doing that.sincerely,rajend naidusydney

@Rajend of glenfield..and what exactly does the so called deity you puja to each day, called Shiva advocate...war,retribution and death? yeah the Filipino coconuts and Guatamalan bananas you get from Woolies that you place as offerings guide your moral compass, do they? Your hypocrital, self righteous condescending contributions make one puke. Go light another incense and ask for Premila's forgiveness. No, I am no regime lackey as you accuse anyone who disagrees with you. Just another observer, a little sick of the hatefest that monkeys like you contribute to. How about some constructive stuff instead of constantly contributing crap and criticsm. fair comment that the regime is doing lots of damage to Fiji. So what exactly is your point and how do we fix things? Don't simply sit on your high horse and sermonise, it does nothing for anyone. Pretending that it puts pressure on the regime is self flattery and ego greasing for rajend himself.

FORM OWN PARTY“Last Friday I said I was going to contest. I was asked at the grounds and I joked about my answer,” Commodore Bainimarama said.“Yes, I will contest, but nothing has been done yet. I will form a party. I have seen the hard work of Government officials and thought that if I contest, I will be able to help them complete the wishes of this Government.”Meanwhile, there were calls from around the country during the show asking Commodore Bainimarama to contest and continue to lead Fiji. This is because of the developments done by his Government for Fijians compared to those in past leaderships

Once Naz went to Dr S. Mudaliar looking for what to do with Aslam as his performance in bed was getting worse day by day or shall I say night by night.Dr advised him to use Viagra. Aslam went back with Naz and told the Dr that still he could not satisfy Naz.In such situation Naz went and set in Frank's lap

@ Manoa T - does the T stand for Tatti? Because what you say smells of that! rajend naidu is an atheist . ( see his letter to editor for a confirmation) he does not pray to shiva . you got your facts wrong. now be a good Christian and stop being an arsehole. why have you upset yourself so much? what rajend said had nothing to do with you. why your vitriolic attack on him? what's your agenda here? your ad hominem is pure Tatti. what rajend said is the Truth regarding Bainimarama. Is that what got you going? why? YOU ARE A REGIME LACKEY ALRIGHT!

Okay, I guess it's time I let you all in on a sad but also rather amusing secret. It was only a matter of time before you figured it out on your own anyway.

You see, this loathesome Muskan character who has suddenly begun posting venomous and unsubstantiated accusations against Imrana Jalal and Ratu Saki is none other than the Commander himself! That's right, Boss Hawg, Chief Warwar, and Muskan Balegan Chaudhhary are one and the same.

The Commander has hated Ratu Saki ever since Saki replaced him as President in the Fiji Rugby Union. Saki then added insult to injury by inviting the NZ high commissioner to officiate an international rugby match where Banimarama was also attending.

The Commander resents Imrana Jalal, because when he sought her help in advance to give a legal justification for his coup plans, she instead publically warned him that his coup would be an act of treason. He was fit to be tied when the court found that Saki and Imrana had no case to be answered despite FICAC's best efforts at railroading them.

Another thing, Nazhat Shameem has seen Imrana as a rival since their school days. I mention this not just because Naz has the dictator's ear, but because the scandalous allegations about Naz and Bainimarama somehow prompted "Muskan" to retaliate with these poisonous postings against Imrana. Rather than speculate on the reason why, I think we can all imagine that, dictator or not, Frank has a lot of explaining to do to Mary, which probably doesn't help his mood much.

Think about it. You don't need to be a professor of forensic linguistics to detect Nazhat Shameem behind the legal analysis of "Sodden Shelley" and some of Justice Goundar's rulings, or to hear Graham Davis' arrogant "voice" behind many of the C4.5 postings attacking the Qarase government or defending his own ever-shrinking reputation. Similarly, one can readily recognise in the "Muskan" postings the same crude and adolescent persona that texted profanities to Fr. Kevin Barr and wrote "all Indians are MF" and "worship tevoro".

Some of you might scoff at the idea that the Commander could be so resentful, malicious, vindictive and thin-skinned that he would stoop to such a thing. If so, you don't know the man very well.

This isn't the first time for the Commander to post on C4.5. He feels so threatened by the blogsite that he has more than once warned Fijians not to read it. The Commander doesn't like to read much, but he sometimes reads C4.5 himself or just a written digest of the most interesting comments.

A dictator is not necessarily a paranoid for wanting to know who his enemies are and what they're saying about him. But only a few feel so compelled by personal insecurity and hubris that they must respond with an unfounded smear campaign of their own.

“Bula bro. Your posting never fails to amaze. If it wasn’t for the repercussions to my current work, i would have no qualms about posting the following under my name, so feel free to use it, so long as my name is deleted for now.... "That information about Frank Bainimarama and Nazhat Shameem is not new. You will recall that prior to the December coup of 2006 Nazhat personally lodged a police complaint against unspecified people spreading rumours that she was having an affair with Frank Bainimarama.

"Police Commissioner Andrew Hughes had to ask his deputy, Moses Driver to be the investigative officer of this case. Needless to say, investigations were on going when the coup happened. Although no names were mentioned about those spreading the rumours, they had their suspicious. One was about Nazhat’s neighbour, who happened to be none other than Ballu Khan. This was the time he was living in Reki Street, off Nailuva Road.

"How Ballu came to know? Well, Ballu's bodyguards were all ex CRW so they used to see and chat with Frank's bodyguards in the many times he came visiting Nazhat Shameem at home, even late night or early dawn visits especially when Aslam was away from Suva on business.

"That police file will show you that Ballu actually called up someone to express about this secret visitor. He told Nazhat’s husband, his neighbour. Police file will show all of this information. Ballu's near death beating by Bainimarama's men was linked to his telling Aslam about Bainimarama visiting Nazhat at home when he was away“

@ anonymous 1.59 PMfear mongering - regime propaganda.Indians who did no wrong have nothing to fear.Indians who support the illegal baini regime should have good reason to fear being dragged to court. Indians like ... well you know.

GCC /UNION/CHURCH/VANUA/POLITICAL PARTY LEADERS/MEMBERS /HINDUS/MUSLIMS /SANGAM 'ALL SHOULD BE UNITED TO STAND UP AND FIGHT THE REGIME THUGS.TIME TO CLAIM BACK OUR DEMOCRACY FROM THE DICTATORS.NO TO BKMYES TO 1997 CONSTITUTION.UNITED WE STAND AND MARCH ON FOR DEMOCRACY/FREEDOM/LIBERTY.

Qaranivalu is only Chief. who stand up for his people..He broke the peace deal and saved all MP .who were held hostage in 2000.he was poison in 2000.Which other chiefs can be like him now and stand up against Khaiyum /Bai.?.Time for them to stand up now or never.We cant let BKC forced on us all.God bless.Rajesh

Qaranivalu is a coup-maker. You forget what people in Tailevu had to endure after the 2000 coup. Qaranivalu was not poisoned, he, like you are poison. You only make a fool of yourself when you write or open or mouth.

Kaviti Rules_ If you want more rights go to your mother land Africa where your ancestors came from. Fijians own 91% OF THE LAND plus sea and river. What else you want? There are many poor Indians in Fiji. They are born there and they want to live peacefully. Don't use race to advance your political interest. Did natives standard of living improve from 1987 to 2006? It is Bainimara who is bringing all the developments in Fiji. Vote for him for prosperity

God Bless you Rajesh. People who suffered after the 200 coup in Baulevu, Muaniweni, etc are all fools, wrong. They got it coming to them, right? It is ok their homes got destroyed, right? Yes, these people are not important, right? For all that was done to these people, god bless you Rajesh and your Chief

Why is Bainimara a good PM?1. He has given a constitution where election will no longer be based on communal lines.2. Fiji's economy will grow by 2.9% this year. Other western countries are struggling.3. Rural Development.4. Decreased crime.5. Investment in infrastructure, eg roads.6. Increased and better public service.7. Decreased corruption.8. More integration among races.9. More understanding between races.10. Salvaged the sugar industry.11. Free education.12. Free Heath services.13. Better health services.13. Pensions for people over 70.14. Greater investments.15. Free transport for students.and pensioners.16. More electrification of rural homes.17. Water supply in rural places.18. Reduced public debt.19. More accountability of foreign aid.20. Lesser dependence on Australia and NZ.21. Opening up of the agricultural sector.and many more to come. Vote Bainimara.and many more to come.

AnonChief gave them the land back and saved the mp and indians.what you talking about.go ask the people in naitasiri.People used these naita people for political milage at girmit center and in the north.promise were made they will get refuge overseas.So anon i know who you are pls go back and see same people living in peace in naitasiri now.If chief was coupmaker .why did he save the mp and sign the manukau accord .which bai broke his promise.MPC will be able to tell you more on this.Rajesh

Frank gave us huge debt levelNo democracy /freedomNo AG Audit reports 2006-2012.Not telling the public how much salary he is paid with his ministers.Govt tenders awarded-company name and amount.Put people in jail who oppose himAll Army benefits.BKC Forcing on people.FNPF will go broke soon with Fiji Airways /Natadola hotel/Momi .Frank is using fijian land and taxpayers money to do this.

Rajesh, I am talking about facts, nor fairy tale stories. I don't need to talk to MPC or you. I talk of facts, idiot. He signed the Maunikau accord coz that was then the only way forward. You obviously don't care about the people who got hurt. Chief saved himself, not Fiji. Why start a fire when you know if destroys? And then conveniently try to extinguish it. I don't care if frank broke the promise or not. he is a coup maker just like your chief. You should be ashamed of yourselves but still God bless you. Any coup is bad. 87, 2000, 2006, etc. Change your attitude to coups and illegal political methods.

Anon the chief did bring the people back to naita from girmit centre and reconcile with them.thats what real leaders do forgive and move on with life.I feel sorry for the people.but its history.bai have killed people now do we support him for this no way.Bai did coup and others will pay for it.

Vinaka Rajesh. Its History, how convenient. Yes, we have to help to get Fiji to democracy but to suggest people like your Chief to be honest and be impartial, is a shame. It is coz of people like you who support wrong, we are unable to help Fiji. Fiji needs honest people not popular. You talk about forgiveness alot. You don't even know what it means. Shame on you and your like. land is not everything. What about the feelings, respect of good people you call history. Shame!

Anon.You should visit naitasiri and see from 2000-2013 people have learned from past mistake.they all live in peace and respect each other,forgiveness was done to both side accepted gracefully..they all live happily now.

frank will play cat and mouse with the people of fiji for as long as he needs to keep people in the dark and guessing what he is up to.

his bottom line though has always been to stay in power for as long as he wants, mapping out how best to legitimise himself with as little damage control as possible.

the international community stopped being important to what fiji's doing some time ago, thanks to coup supporters globe trotting in fiji's name and media whores like graham davis and crosby walsh, washed up white colonialists who have lost their credibility but because of their colour remain welcomed by regional government and the media industry.

Fiji land belong to the Fijians.We Indians have lease the land and worked hard to earn a living.We have paid the rental.So we have respect for landowners and they respect us.Khaiyum /bai are destroying this trust that was build in the past years by the Indians/Fijians.off old.BKC is not helping Indians nor Fijians.BKC just help BAI/Khaiyum to hold on to power and waste tax payers funds and put us in huge debt for future generation.So lets be united for better fiji for all and get rid of the evil regime .god blessRajesh

Yes Rajesh, everyone living happily now in Naita. Good. Make your chief the PM and President. Do yoy agree with the past coups or only against this coup? I don't and will not forgive frank for this coup or others for other coups. Which side are you on. I know. What about those who still have the scars of what happened? You think you know me. You don't coz you don't care about us and what happened. So you sleep well. No coup is good.

Radini, several months ago, Dakuwaqa posted something very interesting. I commend it to you for deep consideration. He wrote "I fully agree with many of the Church Fathers throughout history on the right, and even the duty, to revolution in resistance to tyranny. Nonviolent approaches should be tried and re-tried, but if these strategies fail, then tyrannicide must be an option.

"As Juan de Mariana wrote in the 1598 work De rege et regis institutione, '[B]oth the philosophers and theologians agree, that the prince who seizes the state with force and arms, and with no legal right, no public, civic approval, may be killed by anyone and deprived of his life...'"

I also believe in forgiveness but when you promote Chief who was the one who started it all against us, I cry blood. I will forgive but your Chief never admitted to what he started. I get very upset when you suggest that the Chief and Speight are good people. You tell us to support MPC and Qarase. What has MPC done for us. Why should we support him. We will ONLY support HONEST people. Please Rajesh, only believe in the truth. Just coz we can apologize, doesn't mean we should offend.

Kamlesh, I got a kick out of your list of reasons why we should vote for Bainimarama. LMAO! "Better public service, decreased corruption, salvaged the sugar industry..." You should write ad copy for the tobacco companies.

Just two questions for you, mate. First, how are we supposed to vote for Bainimarama when he never allows us an election? And secondly, even supposing anything on your list was true, why would we want to vote for anyone who would do that?

Rajesh, when your elderly respected father gets punched and spat at, I can forgive but I can not forget. You ask me to forget coz you are not me or my dead father. He diedi n his sleep. I wish I could say peacefully. You don't know shit, Rajesh. But you sleep well. Sometimes poor people (both Fijians and Indians) are nothing but shit for politicians like you.

I didn't help anybody, happy? Rajesh aka Sai, Miri, feel happy. Rajesh when we needed you, you chose to spit on our face. You have a short memory, BRO. It is the power when u were untouchable, people like us don't mean anything to you. Go on, and keep lying to urself to make urself feel important. Good on you BRO. God bless you for nothing. Baulevu

The Maumau uprising in Kenya in the 50s haopened because the colonies were dustributing the land like crazy to British war veterans neglecting the natives...The Maoris and the Aborigines are still mourning over their lost identities...Although we cannot blame the current generation for the wrong of the colonial past...We must learn from that and to make sure that does not happen to our children...The current constitution does not want to address this our rights to our land...Does that mean if a powerful businessman sees billions of dollars on our land... do we have a right to say no...because of development...The UN recognised the Indigenous right which I did not see being adressed in this constitution...Yes the people who have settled and called Fiji home have every right to stay with us because they have become part of us...but not at the cost of our Identity as indigenous being watered down as simply a Fijian...The Itaukei...politically speaking is not a superiorrace but Indigenous people that have their land as their only security..and it is the only thing that is keeping us afloat and hoping for a better future...if we arenot performing well..it is the hope that keeps the people living in a shack in Suva strong...While the world ofeconomic define poverty in terms of income...The I Taukei worldview defines a poor person as a person with no land and is not liked by the relatives...I think the regime needs to explain to us why they have not recognised our indigenous rights together with the land rights

@anon..March 30, 2013 at 1:01 PM...you say rajend's crap has nothing to do with me. And whats my opinion got to do with you? tattifalla?

Kamlesh Kumar how you going good sir, I hope you're well. I have been advising my son Sonaila Meli Bainimarama thought I give you the same advice, one of my best. Just in case you can't read Fijian believe you me I shall do my best to translate my advice in Fijian, this should help Sharon Blow Job Smith Jones as well. Here it goes,

Go find that slimy hole, the one that took you 9 months to crawl out off, when you find that whore of a woman you call mother, tell her your birth was a mistake. Once you crawl back in it, ensure that the hole is stitched shut. Don't worry I will comfort your mother through this tough times.

Please take my advice seriously and pass it on to you brave leader Frank Bainimarama.

PS. If you see my son, Sanaila Meli Bainimarama around the barrack let him know I'm waiting with Mary Bainimarama at home.

Thank you everyone. We the people have the power. The power to choose. To choose the right people to represent us. Some people on this blog think that they are doing their duty. They r not. We know now, a fork from a spade. if you know what I mean. In these difficult times, perhaps we will all wake up and start being Fijians again. By saying Fijian, I mean being human again. Every poor person in Fiji has no voice. These so called messiahs are cruel blood sucking bats.

@anon .March 30, 2013 at 7:37 PM... yeah i escaped from St Giles after impregnating your mother there. Thirty years later ..lo and behold you are contributing to this blog. Yes, rajend is not your real father, I am. ask your mother, if she is coherent, that is.

Its a sad indictment on the Fiji school system that the Indian contributors to this blog can't spell or form coherent, intelligible sentences. Good example is rajesh of NZ. rajend of Oz used his uncle's nepotic contact to get a Fiji Govt scholarship to study abroad, get Fiji work experience then scampered off like the rat that his race is, to Oz. Most of the students at FSM are Indians who will eventually migrate and contribute nothing to Fiji. True story.

@Anon9.26PM only one kind of person would threaten Attar Singh with another trip to the camp - a Military Thug!This is how you plan to run the country - by rounding up critics taking them to the camp . rule by terror is the only way you thugs know how to rule. the new constitution and election is just a front . a window dressing. thug rule is what you thugs are about!

Fiji draft constitution opposed by former political leadersUpdated 28 March 2013, 18:46 AEST

A group comprising many of Fiji's former political parties says it will organise public meetings to discuss the coup installed military government's draft constitution.Fiji draft constitution opposed by former political leaders (Credit: ABC)

The United Front for a Democratic Fiji says the draft seeks to perpetuate a dictatorship by entrenching the many restrictions and prohibitions imposed on the people since the 2006 coup.

It will be organising public meetings in Suva and Nadi next week.

One of the group's spokesmen, prominent trade union leader Attar Singh, says the interim government's draft constitution has draconian provisions which should be strongly opposed.

Radio Australia contacted the Fiji government for comment on this story, but they did not respond.

Presenter: Bruce Hill

Speaker: Attar Singh, a prominent trade union leader and one of the spokesmen for the United Front for a Democratic Fiji

SINGH: The human rights or the Bill of Rights area and every right that is given under the government draft has got more limitations and more restrictions than the right itself. For example I don't know and I've been told also by experts that there isn't a country in the free world where the right to life is also conditional. Under this one the right to life can also be limited in the event of insurrection and riots and also in the event where somebody is escaping or somebody is being arrested. So I think that's a very, very outrageous provision. Similarly as you know from our point of view as trade unions, there was an international seniors lawyers project which did an analysis of the Political Parties Decree, and said that the restrictions on the trade unions from holding political party positions and participation was a provision that they could not find anywhere else in the world. And now we see in the draft constitution those provisions of the Political Parties Decree have in fact been inserted into the constitution, and if this constitution goes ahead, then the challenges of anyone being able to amend those is very, very limited, because as you know the draft can only be amended by three quarters of the House, and three-quarters of the referendum thereafter.

HILL: Now this group, the United Front for a Democratic Fiji, I noticed that the signatures on this media statement, Ratu Jone Kubuabola, Mahendra Chaudhry, yourself, Mick Beddoes, Raman Pratap Singh, these are all the former leaders of what we have to refer to as former or proposed political parties. You made sure not to call yourselves leaders of political parties because that's actually illegal at the moment isn't it?

SINGH: Well that is correct, I was not a politician, I still issue statements from our position in the union and there's no restriction on that. But the other individuals yes they were you're quite correct, they were politicians of some sort, and their political parties have applied for registration and those registrations are still pending. And in that situation they aren't able to act or portray themselves as political parties or political party leadership. So they have taken on their own as individuals in their individual capacities to issue that statement.

HILL: Now one of the things that the UFDF say that they're going to be doing is holding public meetings as a forum for citizens to engage in open discussions about this draft constitution. And you've actually listed in your press release two places and two dates and times when you'll be doing this. Is this actually strictly legal under the current decrees that Fiji's operating on? Are you actually trying to provoke the interim government to a certain extent by holding these meetings?

SINGH: Firstly as you would have seen Bruce the draft constitution has only given people two weeks to discuss and comment on, and then again those comments are to be sent to various addresses which is not very transparent, and then at the same time the regime did announce with the draft constitution being published, that that was going to be followed by several explanatory notes. Now those notes have not been forthcoming so far. So people really aren't very sure as to what the draft and various provisions of it are saying.

HILL: I guess what my question really is, is this a bit of a provocation to the government holding public meetings, these are former political party leaders, is that not a bit of a shot across the bows to the interim government?

SINGH: Well I don't think so, I think they are restricted under the Political Party Decree not to conduct themselves as politicians or leaders of political parties. But they have no restriction on them as individuals in their individual capacities. And in so far as we are concerned, the freedom to hold meetings is still there, but this meeting is being held in a trade union premises, the Suva one, and the Nadi one of course is being held at the resort. Now we have advised the authorities that these meetings are being organised and we'll see how they go.

HILL: Do you think they'll be a big response from the public or do you think some people might be a bit scared to turn up?

SINGH: Well I think it is understandable that people are intimidated, everything the people hear on Fiji's airwaves and the tv and read in the papers is everything that the government and the ministers are saying. They have no other alternative voice, the media here does not report anything else. I know Mr Chaudhry sent a statement a few days ago, that statement has not been reported in Fiji, and I sent out a statement yesterday that has also not been reported by any of the media here. So obviously the media is also feeling intimidated, the people are also intimidated, so we'll see. I think we'll have a reasonable attendance because there are many people who are concerned about these issues and would like to have a forum to discuss this.

Guys time to start looking for answers instead of just commenting. The idea will no doubt offend some but a blockade like the one used on South Africa might be the way forward.

Time for action on FijiKARL DU FRESNE

Apologists for the illegitimate Fijian government led by Frank Bainimarama have melted away as the regime's true thuggishness has been exposed.

In the years following Mr Bainimarama's seizure of power, many gave him the benefit of the doubt, deluding themselves that he was genuinely concerned about breaking the dominance of the Fijian elite and protecting Fiji Indians from discrimination.

But in the murk of Fijian politics, it seems no agenda is pure. Whatever his motives at the start, Mr Bainimarama has morphed into a stereotypical megalomaniac.

In the unlikely event that anyone still believed in him after he intimidated the media, suppressed dissidents, repeatedly postponed elections and tore up a draft constitution (partly paid for by New Zealand), then the ugly truth must have finally dawned when Mr Bainimarama defended the police thugs shown on video beating up two prisoners.

There can no longer be any doubt that Mr Bainimarama is the Pacific's Papa Doc. Which raises the question, what can we do?

We can certainly no longer look the other way and pretend it isn't happening. Neither can we expect that normal diplomatic tut-tutting will cut any ice. Mr Bainimarama is impervious to such gestures and grows more arrogant by the month.

On an individual level, New Zealanders can protest by not going to Fiji for their holidays. The smiling faces on tourist posters can't disguise the reality that Fiji is an oppressive police state, run by a tyrant who is contemptuous of human rights and the rule of law.

But acts of individual conscience are not enough. New Zealand and Australia should be thinking hard about putting the squeeze on Mr Bainimarama by applying economic sanctions.

The argument against such sanctions is that they penalise the innocent. Jobs will be lost and people may go hungry. But that argument didn't stop the world from blockading South Africa in the apartheid era, and it worked. Mr Bainimarama has shown he is immune to anything less.

anon 1224pm, u want answers? theyv always been there infront of ur face.u rite fancy talk is just that and no effect because fijians are so gullible that a bowl of dahl soup and rice will buy their faith.

the facts are bainimarama ordered his crw soldiers to take over chaudharys government. he liumurid his soldiers when he shifted the blame to them instead of standing behind them like a true soldier.he couped qarase because compol hughes was going to arrest him for the killings and the coup.there is no good intention on his part to be good to the people. if u think otherwise or have some doubt about it u as gullible as the ignorant fijians.the solution has been on the international news for the last twelve months or so.

Anon@1.14pm You're probably right because the venom spewed on this blog, accompanied by the filthiest of language, is not being done by democracy supporters but regime supporters. If Bai is listening let him reply to this: what is he intending to do with itaukei land?

i will decree that all natives land will be states land, i will not have to compensate u natives because thats what Airbusass my Madam Niceass (makes my waters break when i mention her name) have explained to me that equal rights means we all fijians share equally alike.

and the leases money will go to the government and not the natives so that i can share the money equally with every one. remember the time i said the chiefs cannot take a larger cut than the ordinary natives?so in the same way the kaiindia and all others who are now fijians like the natives will have an equal share through my road projects and water projects and so on.same thing with the mining of the natives lands and seabeds. all moneys goes to the government and everybody have equall rights, forigners and natives all the same.see before too much discrimination so doing it this way means no more discrimination and every body equal. equal rites for everybody. everybody loves it. they tell me when i go to the villages and the towns and shopping at tappoos. but not prouds which i cant understand because i want to make them equal with tappoos.

Equal rites is going to be my political party name. its already registered. Ive just got to get the names and pay the fees and lodge the form.

just like the name fijians. we cannot just call natives fijians and the others by their race names. see people dont understand why i want everyone to be called fijia.because if everyone is fijian, then we no longer have racial discrimination. how can we discriminate against each other if we are called fijians, same race. thats the logic as explained to me by Airbusass and my madam Niceass (makes my waters break again when i mention her name). so i dont know why u bloggers dont like my constitution and decree because I get rid of race discrimination just like that when mick beddoes and qarase and chodhry could not do it over many years.why would u complain about that uh?

And let us get the Atlantic Blvd Neighbourhood Watch mob to Round Up rajend naidu and burn him as well at the burning stake together with Attar Singh and any other critic we can Round Up. These people do not deserve to live for their UNWANTED criticism of our "govt" - the best Fiji has ever had. Now time for me to go and join my family and regime mates to a full chow "fellowship" Easter feast.I'll be gone for some time!

Anonymous@3.04hahaha, the true colours are showing, honest people never resort to thuggry and violence only ass hole like you, if you think this is the best tell your baini boci to call an open election, yes Attar and party have no guns but you gundus with guns are scared of them , because once people of Fiji know the truth your $$$$$$ have erroded and you left with penny..baini boci is paying you to come on this block . Go and tell your baini boci come for open debate a class 2 kid will corner him..you only talk violence that's why you are there..you are just a gundu, gundu gundu bloody pufter..go and hang your self in shame talking rubbish...sonalevu

Just remember, everything we're dealing with during the Bai illegalregime is absolutely illegal.Don't let the new Bai/Khaiyum constitution worry you,as you know,it's illegal.Whatever it saysit can do or want to do,is illegal,unenforceable and can beturfed out of any democratic courts,All current judges&CJ areillegal and will be hanged in a free Fiji?

OK all you Attar lovers lets look your boy's history as a Leader of NFP. How much has NFP progressed since your boy assumed the leadership? How may seats has NFP won in last 3 elections? How many supporters have you been able to increase under your leadership?
